L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.
Required number is of the form 840k + 3
Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.
Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.

Any number whose digits sum is nine (9) then only the number is divisible by nine.
taking k = 1..means 843 , sum will be 8+4+3 = 15 not divisible by nine.
k = 2 is 1643 & sum of digit is 1+6+4+3 = 18 means 1+8 = 9 hence least number is k=2.

@Suchita.
18 is divisible by 6. There is no remainder. But as per the question, we should get 3 as the remainder when we divide the number by 6.
